Full Screen for User's view

I'm in the process of desiging a form that upon opening I want the user to
see the full page I see w/o having to scroll to see all the information on
the form.
When I view it on my PC it's the full screen w/o scrolling, however, when my
director reviews the same form, it's larger font, & she has to scroll to see
all the information.
Is there a way for me to lock the screen so it appears the same on
everyone's PC when it's opened?
Thank you
 
That is due to her resolution and Window's settings.

You could build your forms at the lower resoution so that people with older
monitors or different settings would see what you want them to see.

I have also seend some posts out here for tricks that you can do through
code to resize the form based on the monitor resolution, but I don't think
it reduces the data to fit, it just makes the form size the same (I think
they'd still have to scroll around). You might do a search and read
previous posts on the topic.

Personally, I would not worry about it. If the user NEEDs the bigger font,
then that is their business. Let her know that she can change her
resolution or deal with the scrolling. Just my opnion.

Here is a good shareware choice for resizing the screen:

You could also try a Google groups search for "Access resize screen" or
something like that. Be aware that while the linked program works quite
well, there is a learning curve.
